Admin Thread for WW LXXVIII: Yar Har Har and a Bottle o' Rum - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Pitchwife · 06-28-2010, 03:39 PM

I'd love to help out, and the roles'n'rules sound interesting, but - I had a serious discussion with my wife today about spending too much time at the computer, and I'd really like to get more things done in RL. So it wouldn't be a good idea - sorry. But good luck everybody, or as we say in German 'Mast- und Schotbruch'!

Well we must keep Pitchwifewife's interests in mind too! Not everything is Werewolf, right? Right?

....Right?

Blind Guardian · 06-28-2010, 05:47 PM

Wrong!!

Can our lovely mod at least put our names in a hat (with one extra) so we can see what our rolls are :P

And I'm Queen of Stealing Pages :P 8)

That won't work because if person 12 is a wolf they won't have the ability to talk to their fellows as long. It wouldn't be fair.

Dear, you really can wait until someone else joins. I know it seems hard, but the wait won't kill you. Besides, I have faith in Paranoia that as soon as he gets another person he'll send out all the roles.

Also, can you PLEASE kill someone by stuffing them full of poisoned rolls? You'll seriously make my day (or Day, as the case may be).

autume98 · 06-29-2010, 02:08 PM

Sign me up! Sounds like a lot of fun.

Blind Guardian · 06-29-2010, 02:13 PM

YES! lets start!

Paranoia · 06-29-2010, 04:12 PM

Heh. Roles will then be going out soon; wolves expect your PMs first along with the first bit o' story. i.e. SIGNUPS ARE CLOOOOOOOOSED.

Morsul the Dark · 07-02-2010, 10:29 AM

I'm going to be in Boston Tomorrow so I probably won't be able to post until Late into the day.

Paranoia · 07-02-2010, 10:10 PM

woops. Kinda fell asleep on my end for a bit. <_< Busy day and dead tired at phase change... so the narrations'll probably be up in an hour or two of each other. x_x

Note to Boromir: Accepted. XD And don't worry too much; we all forget things sometimes. Just don't make it a habit.

Nerwen · 07-02-2010, 10:12 PM

I'll probably be able to post no more than once or twice toMorrow as I'm currently visiting my family for the weekend, and I have to go into town to use the internet. Just letting you know.

Blind Guardian · 07-02-2010, 10:20 PM

I think Monday is a night phrase but: our ac is about to crap out on us and our fridge isn't working right. At the moment we have a appointment for them to keep it 24 hours. We might have to stay in a hotel or they might let us stay in the RV with electric to their building. We have Internet on the computer but not on iPod, which I have used for the last two games. So I might not be on or I might not vote.

Alright; if you don't happen to vote today, it won't be held against you as per what the rules state.

Same to BG regarding monday, which unfortunately is a day phase.

Glirdan · 07-03-2010, 08:13 AM

So I myself may have to vote early due to Birthday parties, bonfires, and family visitations all in one day, so please do not hold it against me.

satansaloser2005 · 06-28-2010, 06:30 PM

What is it with pirate-themed games when Sally's away at camp?

Blind Guardian · 06-28-2010, 08:04 PM

Yeah I was joking

no I meant just so we know what our rules are so we can ask questions if we are confused. If the 12th person is say wolf number three they are wolf number three. Either way we wait.

Rikae · 06-28-2010, 08:23 PM

Just get your wife to play, then, Pitch!

++Wifewife

Inziladun · 06-28-2010, 09:33 PM

I've been trying to get my wife to join up here for years: nothing doing.

Pitchwife · 07-01-2010, 01:35 PM

Oy, Rikae an' Nerwen, ye wenches, lay off a-slanderin' me missus! Jus' me bein' on shore leave dinna mean I canna hear what the wind's a-whisperin'! Ye're jus' jealous is what ye be!

I'm working on it. She likes her new nickname btw, maybe that's a start.

Boromir88 · 07-02-2010, 05:59 AM

So this one time I have been occupied with a ton of work, and not having time to get on-line to check the 'Downs in about a week. Which led me to forgetting I even signed up for a WW game a while ago, and led me to forgetting that it was possibly starting soon. My bad and apologies Paranoia.

I can still play (certainly more than I managed on Day 1

), but work schedule will wipe out half of my day (and I've got a busy holiday weekend).

satansaloser2005 · 07-02-2010, 06:40 AM

++Wifewife (for Downership!)

If she ever actually joins with that username I may fly there and hug her.

Morsul the Dark · 07-04-2010, 06:02 AM

Umm... there was a tie... so who was out?

wilwarin538 · 07-04-2010, 06:51 AM

and a note Para, it's usually customary that votes that come in on the DL count, and ones a minute after don't. Like if the DL is 1:00, then a vote at 1:00 counts, but at 1:01 it doesn't. So Mac's vote should count.

Macalaure · 07-04-2010, 07:28 AM

Hmm... we know that the lynched one is an ordo, but we don't know who it was. That is somewhat dissatisfying.

And, as Wilwa said, if the deadline is 1am, then a vote at 1am is at the deadline, not after it, and the vote should count. If you do it differently (which would be ok, of course), you should have clarified it in the rules.

Paranoia · 07-04-2010, 10:51 AM

Actually that should be noted; I usually DO NOT accept votes at deadline. I accept them all the way *UP* to deadline. As soon as deadline hits, it's a lynch, and voting is no longer allowed.

Rikae · 07-04-2010, 01:01 PM

Yes, that should have been noted before you started the game, Paranoia.

It also should have been noted that you considered it acceptable to PM players with the roles of other players who had neither been lynched nor been targeted by any gifted ability. Did you think I would be happy to hear a certain person's role? Certainly not. My sense of fair play is just as offended when I'm the one being given an unfair advantage as when I'm the wronged party.

I don't need your advice on how to play this game. I've been playing it for quite some time, you know, and I've been in pretty much every imaginable situation. I do, however, expect a mod to play fair - and that means being upfront about the rules from the beginning and abiding by them. Your little twist concerning the cobbler, mentioned in your PM to me, is another thing that should have been mentioned from the beginning.

I apologize to the other players, but I will have to withdraw from this game as it is not being run fairly.
